the pixel four isn't the only smartphone
on the market to get a 90 Hertz display
recently check out the brand new oneplus
70 we tore down the oneplus 7 pro this
last May and it scored a 4 out of 10 on
our a pair ability meter has oneplus
made this latest version more repairable
there's only one way to find out and
that's to tear it down like the oneplus
7 pro the way to the heart of the 70 is
through the rear panel this panel is
held in place by some pretty strong
adhesive requiring us to put a little
extra muscle into the opening procedure
fortunately for us there are no cables
attached to the rear panel and it lifts
right off revealing the mid frame
standard Phillips screws hold the mid
frame in place but once they're removed
the frame pops right off we've got a row
of cables to disconnect and two more
Phillips screws to remove to get the
motherboard out but before we take it
out we find the front facing camera
behind some black tape lifting the
motherboard out we find a lot of thermal
paste we don't often see this much
thermal paste in a phone so this thing
must generate a ton of heat the rear
facing three camera system is attached
to the motherboard and their cable
connections are hiding behind a bracket
once removed we get a close-up look at
the system which features a 48 megapixel
wide-angle camera a 12 megapixel
telephoto camera and a 16 megapixel
ultra-wide camera behind some shields on
the board we spot the 8 gigabytes of
lpddr4 X Ram with the Snapdragon 855
plus layered underneath and the 128
gigabytes of ufs storage the USBC
connector is modular and easy to remove
and underneath we spot the optical under
display fingerprint sensor the battery
comes out next and it has a helpful pull
tab making removal a piece of cake this
battery has a typical capacity of
fourteen point seven watt hours which is
actually a very slight decrease from the
oneplus seven pros 15 point 4 watt hour
battery we're left at the display which
is unfortunately thoroughly glued to the
mid frame this is a 6.5 five-inch fluid
AMOLED display that has a 90 Hertz
refresh rate a resolution of 1080 by
2400 and a pixel density of 402 pixels
per inch
with our oneplus 70 fully disassembled
it's time to talk repairability the
oneplus 70 scored a 5 out of 10
and here's why on the upside the battery
can be removed early in the disassembly
process and comes with the pull tab for
easy removal
many components are modular and can be
individually replaced all the threaded
fasteners are of the standard Philip
variety and on the downside display
replacements which are the most common
repairs are not prioritizing the design
you have to completely disassemble the
phone to swap out your screen and
finally the primary access point for all
repairs the rear panel is firmly glued
in place and if you're looking for more

seven Pro teardown to get an inside look
at the periscope pop-up camera it's
really cool
